Bøker i Routledge Library Editions: Afghanistan-serien

Following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, research into Afghan society was severely curtailed, and the ability to research the Afghan resistance was non-existent. This book, first published in 1988, was the result of a Swedish seminar that focused on the results of the war on the people and culture of Afghanistan.

This collection features three key previously out-of-print books that examine Afghanistan's colonial history; its culture through the tradition of oral narrative; and the impact of the Soviet invasion of 1979. Taken together, these books provide an essential reference source on the history, culture and politics of Afghanistan.
